Faust and 12th Night are both Naxos recordings.  (I am such a huge Naxos fan.  Their recordings are top notch.)

The Christmas Carol

Bumping as this has started already. Different this year as they require you to download an app called Sora. It still looks like you can  keep the recordings, but I haven't really looked into it.

I was wondering if they will still play on apps like overdrive. Maybe I'll ask my teen to investigate it.

So, I just tried adding Audiobook sync as an Overdrive Library & it worked. But, it might have worked because I already have the Sora App installed. It seems to pull up Sora inside the Overdrive app.

You can no longer download them directly from the website like you used to be able to.

As if I need more apps on my life. Sigh. We've used the audiosync audio books in the past, though, so I imagine we will again this year. 🙂

Thanks for giving it a try! That is good news for me on a day like today when it took me half an hour to remember my email password while trying to log in on a different computer. 🙄Not sure how much more technology I can handle atm. 😄

In Overdrive, try searching for "audiobook" in the Add Libraries area. Two come up on mine & one is clearly Sync. You have to register w/an email address on the Sync site & with the same email in the app. See if you can get to the books w/out adding Sora.

Thanks @RootAnn!! Now I have to figure out the new download system for this yr.

I am not sure how obvious it is, but the Faust audio is Abridged.

I have not yet figured out if it is possible to download the recordings onto your computer, but from reading info on Sora, it should be possible to listen to it through your regular internet browser.
